The 40ft new shipping container with S4 roller shutter doors pairs full-length storage volume with the quickest everyday access in our range. Because the galvanised shutter lifts vertically rather than swinging outwards, a forklift or pallet truck can work right up to the opening even where the ground in front of the unit is tight. Delivered as a one-trip box in Corten weathering steel, it arrives clean, dry and smart enough for customer-facing yards.
Key Features
- Manual galvanised roller shutter doors – fully welded steel, upward opening, with electric operation available on request
- Shutter housing and frame finished to match the container colour for a purpose-built appearance
- One-trip condition – a single loaded voyage from the factory, so marks are usually limited to light scuffing around the corner castings
- Corten steel walls, roof and end frame that weather to a protective oxide layer and cope with British damp
- Marine-grade plywood flooring that takes forklift wheels, pallet loads and racking feet
- Wind and watertight construction, ISO 6346 identification marking and a CSC plate
- Shutters can also be cut into the long side, and wider openings can be fabricated to order

Delivery Across the UK
We move 40ft containers the length and breadth of the UK on HIAB-equipped lorries, so the unit can be lifted straight into position rather than dragged off the bed. A 40ft delivery needs firm hard standing, a sensible turning circle and an entrance of at least 3m (10ft) clear width. Tell us about gateways, overhead cables or slopes when you order and we will match the vehicle to your site.
